Just updated all my RHEL4 VMs and RHEL 5 hosts, and virt-manager can no longer connect to the consoles on the vms. Tried recreating VNC adapters in virt-manager to no avail. VMs running kernel 2.6.9-78.0.8.ELxenU. Must be missing something, but not sure where to look. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

If the port number is -1, then its failed to start VNC for some reason. If the graphics tag is missing completely then the config file is wrong.
